Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

Agree. It's not his fault the system has gone from slightly rigged to massively rigged. He is still the same kid he was when he was burying LSU in Milwaukee.
Who among us would turn down a 10x pay rise to change employers?
But the new way of doing business will kill the sport.
Dude didn't even get any blueblood offers for one simple reason, he isn't anywhere close to being good enough to play for a team like North Carolina.
There is no reason for any fan to be on the ledge. If we pick up a decent guard in the portal, it’s a wash as far as I’m concerned.
But you run the risk of the scholarship not being there whether that’s a coach retaliating or they already replaced you
Tyrese is not and will not be a draft prospect until at least his senior year. Even then, he will never ever go in the first round.
You're OK with this??? Typical, loser mentality.
Man, next year is going to be a blast without a point guard. I hope he ends up like Yesufu, bench warmer.
I've watched Kansas recruit some duds out of HS, duds nearly every program in the nation wanted but duds none the less. Now they can just pay sophomores like Hunter they know are locks to be all conference players rather than taking risks on unproven high school players. Oh and he's short so he's likely to be a multi year player.
There is absolutely no way this won't hurt the vast majority of teams.
Go ahead protecting your feeble mind with this contrarian nonsense.
It is the end of college athletics. It truly is.
This is the Titanic and the lifeboats are full. We can rearrange the deck chairs and listen to the band, but this ship is going down.
Only possible saving grace is if Fox/ESPN start seeing viewership tank and then implement a more equitable system.
Otherwise, like Billy Joel said, "Oh we will all go down together!"
Swen Nader did this. Long before it was legal.Really? I'd rather be a back up at school A and make $600,000 than start for school B for free tuition and room/board etc. I'd get that at school A anyway. If I'm good enough to play pro, I'll play pro. Might as well get rich in college.
Oh, I still think its got to be mostly that. But if it wasn't, I'd rather take the disappointment and just let the damn truth be known. There would be less hand wringing or rule questioning if a simple 'why' gets told and we move on. And yes, I get no player owes fans anything...but it just seems like the world would operate a whole lot better if the facts just get stated.
We'll never get a good player to come to ISU ever again!!!
What’s the minimum salary? I don’t think you should be surprised if an NIL coop for Duke offers a kid/family with no money 100k to fight for a spot vs going to ISU for 5k and whatever he can make on cameo and be the man, that the kid/family chooses Duke.
This is catastrophic, good luck finding another guard like that.
Can’t fault him for looking after his own self interest. With that said, hope he loses every game even though I know he won’t.
There is no evidence of this at all because ISU's peers are in the same boat. If UNC and Kentucky will poach non-blueblood talent then they are going to take it from K-State and Oklahoma State and West Virginia just as often as they are going to take it from us. That means KU will have the best talent in the Big 12. Guess what? They pretty much always do anyway.
it is what it is. We’ve gained much more in the portal then we’ve lost.
It could accelerate the country not caring about college sports if the mega conference is a Big Ten/SEC merger vs 30 programs across the country leaving their leagues to join each other.
Half the teams in Big Ten/SEC cannot pay pros the way the top teams can even if they get a boost from bigger TV/Streaming payouts. You could be talking about a dozen major programs in football, not 30, if they do it in the worst way.
Lol, just read his statement, God wanted him to transfer.
